Event description

Description

This forthcoming FAPSA conference will be specially valuable to teachers seeking to improve their students' critical and creative thinking and ethical understanding, providing useful tips to help teachers develop their students' skills associated with the Australian General Capabilities.

What was once called Philosophy for/with Children (P4C), now known as Philosophy in Schools incorporates philosophical inquiry in the classroom, reflective education and Socratic dialogue through the use of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) methodology.

The biennial FAPSA Conference will be held in beautiful, historic Fremantle, Western Australia July 10 and 11, 2018. It is preceded by a day of practical sessions with school-aged students and a professional development workshop for teachers on July 9 at Hale School. Combining theory and practise, this conference caters to P4C practitioners, teachers, academics, post-graduate students and pre-service teachers alike.

Presenters will be attending from Australia, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Norway, The Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

The Conference theme asks: What is the Future of Philosophy in Schools?
